I like this a lot and I also use this. Comments as a narrative - you may quickly scan the function and read only 'headlines'-type of comments and if they are good, not too verbose, not too sparse, you have all the information needed. Combine it with a bit more descriptive summary at the beginning and and it's a pleasure to read and you immediately know where are the parts of interest. Reading pure code, even with the crazy enterprise style verbose function names is much harder and takes more time you need to waste on parts that in the end don't matter for the case you're looking for
